This Clip Makes Me So Emotional. I Feel Like This Sometimes, At Night Especially. That The Whole Wide

lukewarm take but i personally do not give a shit if poor people cheat a system that was designed to fail them anyways. i also coincidentally do not enjoy the taste of boot rubber

pov. you forget ur friend is a robot. (its fine. Ortho is happy he was included)

"My best friends are some of the most talented aspiring mages in the world," you boast. "They're courageous and strong. They have such bright futures."

Ace and Deuce are standing 20 feet behind you. Their mouths are full of soda. They're taking turns slapping each other in the face to see who spits the soda out first. Grim is refereeing. He agreed to referee because Ace bribed him with a half eaten chocolate bar he found abandoned on a bench.

Headcanon that when Peter accidentally calls Tony dad for the first time, he immediately freaks out over his slip-up (as usual) but Tony is running on like -20 hours of sleep and doesn’t even notice the mistake but he responds to it so suddenly Peter spirals into ANOTHER crisis because does that mean Tony thinks of Peter as his son, or did he just not hear him right? And now he doesn’t know how to bring it up without outing the fact that he wants Mr. Stark to be his dad

Peter: “Hey, dad?”

Peter, internally: Wait, shit shit! Why did I say that? I can’t call Mr. Stark DAD. That’s so creepy-

Tony, dead on his feet and hearing colors: “Yeah, Pete?”

Peter:

Peter, tearing up: “Um-”

“I pronounce you married as shit, viva la apocalypse!” is exactly why they chose klaus to be the one to marry luther and sloane

“he was cold, he was calculating, he never told me he loved me, he never even told me he liked me.”

And in this moment, everything about tony clicks into place. Because he is not cold, he is on fire. He wears his heart on his sleeve along with his intentions, he lets people in on his secrets before he lets himself in on them.

He tells people he loves them but it’s not in words, it’s not in something so empty, it’s in creating a world that they can live in. Its building them a suit of armour. He likes people, he loves them, he wants them safe and so he makes their home safe, as much as he's able to.

He is so desperate to be anything but his father that he becomes flamboyantly open, about everything. About his address. about his identity. About his affection, about his pride, about his uncertainty, about his self, about his fear. always about his fear. he wears it on his sleeve and in his chest and in his eyes and in his hands.

His father was cold and calculating. Tony is a burning fire and irrational and unpredictable to the point of being unrecruitable to the avengers initiative.

His father was cold, and calculating, and popular, and unaffectionate. Tony is not his father.

TWST Stranded Alien AU

Okay this may be a bit convoluted, but I’ve had this idea living rent free in my head for a while now and I had to write it down.

So, we know how Twisted Wonderland is a different dimension/ planet from the one Yuu is from, right? I’ve always thought how convenient it was that Yuu is the same as the humans of twst (minus the magic part), spoke the same language, eats the same foods, etc. But what if that wasn’t the case?

What if instead of Twisted Wonderland being just a magical version of Earth, it was well and truly a different planet. Here’s a bit of a brain dump of things that I think would be different:

-Twst humans aren’t biologically the same as Earth humans.

Sure, they look similar, but there are some glaring differences. I like to think that Yuu would give the twst humans sort of an “uncanny valley” feeling, and vice versa. Like maybe the twst humans’ skin is weirdly texturless/ too smooth, or Yuu’s facial expressions are really exaggerated in comparison. I want Yuu to really feel like an alien in comparison. It might also be neat if only humans could easily tell the difference, so Faye and Merpeople and the like may not be able to tell at first.

I also imagine this would extend to things like Yuu having a blood type no one else in twst has (heck, maybe blood types don’t even exist there). Maybe they’re allergic to certain common foods or able to digest things that are poisonous to most twst humans. I could write about this part for days, but I’ll leave it here for now.

-Different Language and Culture

If you were to suddenly find yourself on an entirely different planet, what are the odds that you would speak the same language as the people living there? Pretty much 0, in my opinion. I think an untranslatable language barrier could be a really fun obstacle to play around with, and would add an extra layer of difficulty and frustration to the whole situation. 

I’ve also read a lot of fics where Yuu/ reader tries to navigate cultural differences between them and the non-humans of twst, but what if that were extended to the whole cast? I imagine that because of magic, the evolution of life on Twisted Wonderland happened in an entirely different way than it did on Earth, which would lead to a unique culture for its civilizations.

-The Geography/ Planet Itself is Different

Not sure why, but I’ve always had the headcannon that Twisted Wonderland is significantly smaller than Earth. I know we haven’t seen much of the world map yet, but I imagine what we do have is about ½ to ⅓ the size of the whole planet (Forgive me if I’m wrong, I haven’t finished reading the last chapter or hardly any of the vignettes yet). With that being said, gravity would be much lighter than that of Earth’s which could lead to some funky consequences. 

I also think that the weather would be different, and in my opinion, less extreme. I remember in the masquerade event, when Malleus caused an earthquake after finding out Rollo duped him, the cast was pretty shocked (yes, at the fact Malleus caused it, but it also seemed like they were surprised by an earthquake in general), even though it was quite a light one with little to no real damage done. Natural disasters aren’t really that uncommon in our world, and are often bad enough to take tens to hundreds of lives and cause millions in damages. I mean hell, we even have “tornado/ hurricane season” it's so common. 

-Morality and the Concept of Good vs Evil

Ok this kind of ties in with the culture thing, but I felt it deserved its own category. I think that the difference in how civilization came to be would vastly alter what people think is and isn’t ok. We know that physical/ magical strength is a huge factor in determining class/ hierarchy in twst society, so there might be more of a “survival of the fittest” mentality going on. It’s also interesting to think how having multiple sapient species, as opposed to Earth’s one, would affect things.

These are just some thoughts I’ve had for a while. I love world building so much, I’d be absolutely delighted to write more about this if anyones interested. Also, if you have anything to expand on this, please tell me! I’d love to bounce ideas off one another :D 

Anyways, hope y’all have a great day!

I know I'm late to the party for patch 5 and that God!Gale isn't a good ending for him but his new God dialogue and devnotes just have me alksdjflk:

Player: What can I say, Gale? I'm impressed.

Gale: I thought you would be.

Gale: Now, divine as my company undoubtedly is, I've an eternity to catch up with you - a luxury few others at this party possess.

Gale: Don't let me deprive them of your company. Or mine, for that matter.

Gale: It's not every day a new-born god shows up to the reunion.

devnote:

[hint of smugness - thinks he's a hotshot now]

_________

Gale: There are already several shrines in my honour scattered across the outer reaches of Thay, and rumours of a very prominent temple under construction in Amn.

devnote:

[Very proud of this]

_________

Gale: I am ambition incarnate. As indistinguishable from that most potent sensation as Mystra herself is from the Weave. And word is spreading.

devnote:

[Palpable, almost unsettling excitement from him - hint of megalomania]

___________

I think this line from the description of the file sums it up perfectly:

1st oc: hi im just a normal highschooler im kinda depressed but i swear im not a mary sue
